After some minutes, Shang arrived at the place where his Isolation Barrier had been just an hour ago.
Naturally, Gregorio was already waiting there.
When he saw Shang, he felt a mixture of relief and worry.
Shang was still alive, which was a good thing, but the new color of Shang's clothing also worried him.
"Shang, what happened?" Gregorio asked.
"A couple of things, Gregorio," Shang answered.
Gregorio was surprised when Shang called him by his name.
Shang had never referred to him with his name!
'Just as expected,' Gregorio thought, 'something inside of him has changed. I only hope the Shang I know is still there.'
"Can you explain?" Gregorio asked.
"The level six Concept of Entropy, Entropy itself," Shang said. "It can only be realized by becoming an Abomination."
Gregorio took a deep breath.
